Local Note:
John Carter Brown Library copy reads on p. 25, 1. 9, "In a state of nature stands ... " where 'stands' is corrected in manuscript to 'all men'. Therefore, the first part of this copy (p. 1-32) corresponds to the first state of the first edition and not to the second state, according to Echeverria & Wilkie.
